Little Helper

Since I had a ball game tonight I decided to look for my uniform to see if it needed washed.  Of course, it did, so I threw it in the washer and later made the comment to Alyssa that I needed to put it in the dryer so it wasn't wet for the game.  A while later I remembered to go change the laundry, when to my surprise, the dryer was going with just my jersey inside.  She emptied the dryer and dug my shirt out of the washer and started the dryer all by herself and without saying anything to me.  How thoughtful of a 4 year old!  

Another one bites the dust

So to go along with the 16 chickens we HAD to have this spring Tasia and Jer brought the kids home one day with 3 ducks.  Cam has loved them and will spend literally hours playing with them and holding them.  Well a few weeks ago we came home to find the dog had gotten ahold of one of the black ducks.  Cam was devastated and cried hysterically for an hour.  -- no joke.  

Well, last night Tasia's dog came for a little stroll and snatched the yellow duck.  So now we are down to 1 duck left.  

So all day Cam has spent every second that he has been home outside holding the single, remaining duck and all the chickens.  I know it's sad, but it is funny to see him so attached and caring for these little critters.  

** On a side note- the older chickens started laying eggs, so this is taking off some of the sorrow about the ducks.
